This invention relates to novel sulfur and nitrogen-containing cyclic compositions useful as finishing agents for polymeric textile substrates.

More particularly, this invention concerns the preparation of novel cyclic N,N-substituted sulfamide derivatives and to their application to hydroxyl-containing polymeric substrates as modifying agents.

The modification of hydroxyl-containing textile substrates such as the cellulosics is well established in the art. While cellulosic textile materials are especially suited for garment manufacture because of their low cost, availability, durability, dyeability and comfort properties, improvements in their wash and wear" characteristics are desirable. Within recent years it has been found that cellulosics chemically modified to produce crosslinked macromolecules have improved performance. This is particularly evidenced by enhanced crease recovery in both the dry and wet state. Especially sought are modifying agents which enhance crease recovery without a corresponding substantial increase in chlorine retention and a decrease in tensile strength. Modifying agents which impart improved wet and dry crease recovery to the treated cellulosic textile substrate without a concurrent impairment in physical properties continue to be of considerable interest in the textile 211.

It is an object of this invention, among many others, to prepare a group of compositions, the cyclic N,N'-substituted sulfamides, heretofore unreported in the literature.

Another object of this invention is to disclose the utility of the above sulfamides as modifying agents for hydroxyl-containing polymers.

A more specific object of this invention is the utilization of the above reagents as crosslinking agents for cellulosic substrates to produce modified cellulosics which, when fabricated into garments, exhibit good wet and dry crease recovery without excessive damage due to retained chlorine (during bleaching) or substantial reduction in tensile strength.

Yet a further object of this invention is to make available processes for applying said modifying agents to cellulosic ad other hydroxyl-containing substrates so as to effect permanent modification thereof.

Additional objects will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art after a perusal of this application.

The above objects are achieved by preparing compositions corresponding to the formula:

wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxymethyl, alkoxymethyl and alkyl, and R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl.

In the favored practice, sulfamide (H NSO NH is contacted with glyoxal to form a condensation product corresponding to the formula:

HN NH This product can be employed without further transformation as a modifying agent or it can be further reacted at the NII or -OH groups with suitable reagents to form diverse derivatives.

In another compositional embodiment, a group of related six-membered cyclic compositions can be prepared by contacting a dialdehyde containing three carbon atoms, such as for example, malonic aldehyde or its acetal, with sulfamide to form a six-membered condensation product corresponding to the formula:

wherein X is selected from the group consisting of -CH,- and CHOR', wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl, and R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxymethyl, alkoxymethyl and alkyl.

In the preferred practice, the novel five-membered cyclic compounds of this invention are prepared by contacting stoichiometric or near-stoichiometric quantities of the dialdehyde reactant with the sulfamide reactant, allowing the reaction mixture to stand until the product is formed in substantial yield, then concentrating and isolating the product. The product obtained by following this procedure can be further purified by conventional purification procedures such as recrystallization employing appropriate solvents.

The dihydroxylated product can be converted to the desired alkoxy derivative by refluxing in the presence of the appropriate precursor alkanol. N,N'-substituted derivatives can be prepared by contacting the compound containing the two groups with formaldehyde until the desired monoor dimethylol derivative is formed. Other derivatives are prepared using known reactions which are documented in the technical literature.

To more clearly set forth the preparative aspect of this invention, the following examples are submitted:

EXAMPLE 1 EXAMPLE 2 Preparation of the Dimethoxy Ethylene Sulfamide To a reaction flask is added 288 parts by weight of sulfamide and 435 parts of a 43 percent by weight aqueous solution of glyoxal. The reaction mixture is stirred overnight at which time about 500 parts by weight of methanol is added. The

reaction mixture is heated with stirring to about 65 C for several hours. The volatiles are then stripped 03 under vacuum to yield a product whose analytical data fit a dimethyl ether corresponding to the structure of 3,4-dimethoxy-l,2,5- thiadiazolidine-l l -dioxide:

CH CH EXAMPLE 3 Preparation of N,N' Bis(hydroxymethyl)dimethoxyethylenesulfamide To an appropriate reaction flask is added 9.1 parts by weight of the dimethyl ether product prepared as in EXAM- PLE 2, 2.25 parts by weight of formaldehyde (in the form of an aqueous 37 percent by weight solution) and 50 parts by weight of water. The reaction mixture is stirred, the pH adjusted to 5 and warmed to dissolve the reactants. The reaction mixture is brought up to 5055 C and stirred at this temperaon; 1m o 11 L HOCHr-N NCHzOH The crosslinking agents of this invention can be applied to the hydroxyl-containing polymeric substrates by a number of conventional application methods well known in the textile art. These include, but are not limited to brushing, spraying, coating and the like. The agents can be in the form of solutions, slurries, suspensions, emulsions or the like, where appropriate, the main requirement being that at least a modifying amount of reagent is deposited on the polymeric substrate to be treated. A modifying amount is that quantity of reagent required to impart substantially enhanced crease recovery both in the dry and wet state to the treated substrates. Because of experimental variables, differences from reagent to reagent and the particular effect sought, a modifying amount cannot be stated with precision. However, in most instances this amount ranges between and 15 percent by weight of reagent based upon the weight of treated substrate, the upper limit being primarily governed by economic considerations. Ordinarily, it is convenient to utilize an inert solvent as a carrier for the reagent. The choice of solvent is not critical as long as it possesses good solubilizing characteristics and readily removable by evaporation or other means. Illustrative inert solvents include water, tertiary amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethyl-acetamide, l-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, l,5-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone, cyclic ethers such as the tetrahydrofurans, the dioxanes and trioxanes, aliphatic ethers such as Cl-l OCH Cl'l OCl-l and sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide, as well as mixtures of one or more of these solvents.

A convenient mode of application is padding. In this procedure the textile is impregnated with a solution of the reagent in inert solvent containing an acidic catalyst if required, the rolls of the padder being set to the desired wet pickup. The treated textile is dried, usually between about 50 C and 85 C and cured above 100 C, usually between about 120 C and 160 C. The cured, dried samples are usually conditioned to the desired moisture content by exposing them to an appropriate humidity level.

In addition to the modifying reagents of this invention, the padding bath can contain one or more optional textile adjuvants such as softeners, conditioners, surfactants and the like. Since these reagents are not critical to the success of this invention, no attempt is made to enumerate the various adjuvants that can be employed. It will suffice to say exhaustive lists of these can be found in the technical and patent literature.

The modifying of cellulosic substrates by typical modifying agents is described in the following examples. A description of the test procedures follows:
